I just read the Deer and Deer Hunting link. The landowner also got ticketed for the explosive device (criminal mischief). I think its complete BS that the criminals are the ones who have the most protection mostly on the civil side of the house but also in some cases criminal penalties. If it was posted land it should not matter, heck even if its not posted. That implied easement crap is hilarious, similar to squatters rights, that just goes to show people how screwed up the system is.
